girls don’t like boys, girls like the pastoral escapist fantasy of living in a large house with many friends and several pets on a beautiful chunk of land with no financial, political, or medical anxieties. also, bread.
Whatever acceptance for non-binary identities exists in society (and it is very limited as it is) is closely tied to the idea of youth being allowed to experiment a bit as long as that experiment is temporary. So
take care of your older nonbinary folks. Take care of your nonbinary folks slipping out of ‘young adulthood’. Take care of them when their hair turns thin or grey or their age starts to show in other ways. Violence is coming their way. A lot of the world is telling them that their existence is an unacceptable form of immaturity.
This is a compilation of resources for female-assigned-at-birth (FAAB), non-male identified people who want top surgery. This document will include a list of surgeons who are willing to perform top surgery on genderqueer/non-male-identified people, as well as a list of blogs of people who want top surgery or have had top surgery but are not male-identified.
This information has been collected from a variety of sources. If there is something you see that needs to be added or corrected, please let me know. I want to make this list as comprehensive as possible!
SURGEONS (Those who are italicized do NOT require a therapist’s letter)
Dr. Brownstein – San Francisco, CA – http://www.brownsteinmd.com/ (NOTE: DR. BROWNSTEIN HAS RETIRED. I do not know how Dr. Crane feels about operating on non-male identified people.) – Letter requirements depend on the patient – Has been known to operate on explicitly female-identified people
Dr. Buckley – Minneapolis, MN – Letter requirements unknown
Katy Koonce – Katy is willing to do phone sessions with and write letters for people all over the US. Her contact information can be found here: http://katykoonce.com/contact.htm

WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) – This is a link to the new Standards of Care, which has provisions for gender-non-conforming people who want top surgery. http://www.wpath.org/publications_standards.cfm
a lot of the time it can seem like all of the nonbinary people out there are teens/kids but older nonbinary people exist and it’s important that we recognize that being nonbinary is not just a kid thing that people grow out of!! nonbinary adults exist!

I’m just posting this here for my aces and aros who are feeling down on themselves and defeated tonight. Remember that nine out of ten people support you and that the current loudest voices are not those of the majority.
Can you reblog and tag with your favorite characters? I’m curious.
(Mine is Xāwuth.)
this question does not compute. they are all my favourite.
I don’t care if that’s a cop out XD
You have NO. IDEA. how difficult this was to answer. In Ashlesha, Rex is my fave, though I’ll admit only by a narrow margin, because after that it breaks down to a 3-way tie between Euan, Django, and Bait, and it’s impossible after that. Just…most everyone that isn’t current Department asshole. I can tell you that the first bartender is near the bottom of the list!
Is that even a useful answer? ^__^;;
Sorrow, Xāwuth, and Django. And Kai.
Éoghan Beathan Kellagh-Ambrus, for now and fucking always. (Although Ella is a personal fave… and Neumia… and Lois Blackburn… and… fuck, can I just put all??)
Xāwuth, because I may have shrieked very loudly about seeing some of myself in a character that I don’t get to see often, and then Sorrow, because more loud happy shrieking for similar reasons.
And then everyone else in that family and connected in good ways to that family, because competency kink and they are just fucking fantastic.
